The Red Army and Old Trafford
Acquiring Manchester United tickets for a home game not only lets you to see one of the most exciting clubs in Europe play live, but also lets you experience the atmosphere at Old Trafford, also known as the Field of Dreams, home ground of the Red Devils, parade ground for the Red Army.
Fans have been buying Manchester United tickets to their home games at Old Trafford, since 1910 (except for 8 years after it was bombed during World War II).
The name Field of Dreams was bestowed upon the stadium by Bobby Charlton, one of the Club’s best known players.
In 1966, Sir Robert “Bobby” Charlton, won the World Cup and was also named European Footballer of the year, in part because of his famous midfield attacks and his ferocious long-range shots.
Able to seat over 76,000 Manchester United ticket buying supporters, Old Trafford is the second-largest football stadiums in England and it is one of the two stadia in England to have been given a "UEFA elite stadium" five-star rating by UEFA.
Old Trafford has hosted many FA Cup semi-final matches as a neutral venue and a few "English national football team" England international fixtures.
It has also played host during the "1966 FIFA World Cup" and "UEFA Euro 1996" and the "2003 UEFA Champions League Final".
The Old Trafford pitch is surrounded by four stands, officially known as the North, East, South and West Stands.
Each stand has at least two tiers, with the exception of the South Stand, which only has one tier because of construction restrictions.
The lower tier of each stand is split into Lower and Upper sections, the Lower sections having been converted from standing room only terraces in the early 1990s.
The West Stand at Old Trafford is the most famous, and is known as the Stretford End.
The Stretford End stand was designed to hold 20,000 fans, it was the last stand to be covered and also the last remaining all-terraced stand at the ground before the early 1990s ushered in seating only rules.
Stretford End is home to Manchester United’s most die-hard supporters, known as The Red Army.
Much of the noise and atmosphere at Old Trafford emanates from this stand, and the roar from the Red Army there was once measured as louder than the roar of a jumbo jet lifting off.
Unless you’ve been subscribing to your season Manchester United ticket for many years it is impossible to get a seat in the Stretford End, even for the most die-hard fan.
Manchester United's fan club, usually called the Red Army was once the largest and most infamous group of followers British football has ever seen.
When the Red Army followed Manchester United to an away game, the town would fall into chaos: large numbers of fhe Red Army would travel en-mass by train, coach, car or even by foot if necessary, doing whatever it took to get to the game.
In "1974–75 in English football" the mid-seventies when Manchester United had been sent down from the top flight of English football and played a single season in the "Football League Second Division" Second Division, the Red Army caused so much trouble at football grounds around the country visiting other team’s stadiums and often outnumbering home fans, it led to the introduction of home and away fan segregation and fencing at football grounds throughout England.
These days, the Red Army is nothing like it was in the 1970's & 80's.
This Manchester United supporters club, now has a fan base of over 300 million fans across the world.
The vast numbers of Manchester United fans, all of whom would like to visit the Field of Dreams, both to see the game and to experience the atmosphere there, result in it almost always being difficult to buy Manchester United Tickets.
